Just stop using them. Replacement blade knives have to be the biggest gimmick in the industry. Buy a $8 paring knife. Takes a couple seconds to resharpen to a razor blade edge. Just resharpen instead of replacing blades. $8 once and you’re done. You don’t need to carry a big Rambo knife in...
That bridge will never be fixed. They already said they’re never fixing the other bridge that went out with the previous flood. Either USFS or a private citizen will create a ford around the newly collapsed bridge. But who knows, they may never reopen the road at all.
I’d even take this a step further and get a nitrided muzzleloader. A stainless muzzleloader will still rust. You can’t Cerakote the bore. But a nitrided gun even has a near corrosion proof bore.
Trust me. I built one for a guy that could break an anvil, and he hasn’t been able to destroy it yet...
The best option is just sitting it in sandbags, removing the bolt, and adjusting to the target. But this isn’t always an option if you’re working in your shop and need to bore sight one for a friend that doesn’t have the brainpower to do the pull the bolt method when he goes to the range (or the...
You came here asking for help and advice. Many people here that know that country intimately gave you solid advice. How to hunt it, ideas for access, encouragement to push onward, even literal waypoints of mature billies via PM.

I imagine a drop camp would be $1500 - $2500. That is far less than the expense to get to Alaska to attempt a goat hunt there.
Also have y'all hunted Alaska? It's going to be harder than hunting the Absaroka's.
I'd offer to take him to kill a goat, but I just got back from wasting a week away from my family to help a friend with their 20+ point elk tag where on 3 occasions they refused to put in any amount of effort to kill a 360"+ bull. And by refuse to put in effort I mean refuse to walk 3/4 mile and...
Pick up the phone and call outfitters tomorrow. Don’t throw away a goat tag.
Maybe you can get them to just do a drop camp for less $ than fully guided. Who knows.
